Dear Tsuki

Dear Tsuki, I used to be afraid of attachments, Yet, here I am, clinging to a delicate tether that binds me to you. Dear Tsuki, I used to dream of being independent, Yet, here I am, finding solace leaning on you for my daily dose of happiness. Dear Tsuki, I used to fight to be free, Yet, here I am, surrendering and cherishing every moment as if it were a sacred offering. Dear Tsuki, I used to wish to be strong, Yet, here I am, weaving my joys into the tapestry of your moonlight, Strength found not in solitude but in the shared glow of our moments. LWINT

One step at a time

All those fancy topics we used to discuss like "imposter syndrome," "mid-life crisis, blah blah" could never hit harder than an actual incident, directly slamming at our faces, no matter how small it may be. Despite reminding ourselves how everybody on earth operates with their own clock rhythm, suppressing the insecurities we acquire from comparing our achievements and failures with others, there comes a time when we want to smash our own clocks for being so incompetent. We often say, "Slow and steady wins the race." But when things become excessively steady, we start feeling the lack of enthusiasm in our daily lives. Our run-of-the-mill tasks become boring, and our daily conversations turn meaningless. What am I living for? Humanity? Society? My family? Or is it even for my very self? The moment we begin second-guessing the path we've chosen, we fall into an endless pit of despair. "Are we working to live or living to work?" I tried to pond...

And thus, we grew apart 1

"Remember fantasizing about the good old romance novels we used to read as adolescents? Happy endings, like 'He kneeled down under the horizon and she said "Yes." They married and lived happily ever after.' It was never that hard for us to get married happily. The thing that always made us hesitant in saying 'Yes' or kneeling down was the doubt of 'what comes after it (the marriage)?' There was a boy and a girl who came from different backgrounds with different ambitions. The boy wanted to run free like a dog through the spacious fields, while the girl always dreamed of a settled and fulfilling life of a successful marriage. Compromise? Of course, they did. The boy decided to pursue how to develop a business, and the girl let him run loose sometimes to give him freedom. But, yes... that 'but,' which always leads to all the unwanted things after it. The boy left her and their hometown to chase the compromised dream. He worked as a regular s...

And thus, we grew apart 2

Here is the link to part 1 in case you are not familiar with my story. https://lw1nt.blogspot.com/2023/01/and-thus-we-grew-apart.html The revelation may surprise you. After acknowledging that I couldn't love anyone as deeply as I loved her, I mustered the courage to return and confess why I had left her. I had also made the grave mistake of being unfaithful, all in the hope of finding someone better. Surprisingly, she forgave this transgression, driven by love, and chose to stand by me. Although the shattered glass of our relationship could never be seamlessly mended, we did manage to reconcile after a month-long separation. I learned my lesson on not to get deluded on temporary mirages and she also learned hers not to choke me with the demands. We made an agreement to share everything, even if it led to heated arguments. It was during these moments that we both confronted a harsh truth we had ignored for years. I believed she was overly demanding, requiring daily calls and constan...
